Jenny Sinclair's new CD "One More Time": A delightful musical accomplishment

 London, UK- Jenny Sinclair' CD "One More Time", a tribute to the legendary Carpenters was released recently in England.  While listening to Ms Sinclair's voice,  I had to wonder who was really singing? Sinclair or Karen Carpenter? For Sinclair and Karen Carpenter voices are almost identical. Even amazingly similar. Is it a plus or a minus for the ascending British country music star? Only times will tell. However, one thing is most certain. Jenny Sinclair is blessed with a warm, sweet and truthful voice. She might lack vocal cords strength, but the beauty and limpidity of her voice are remarkable. Perhaps, intentionally, Ms Sinclair did not make use of vocal ardour, for her message of tenderness, affection and hope came crystal clear through her  tender and well-polished voice. Vocal strength was substituted by delicate beauty and affectionate musical warmth.

Perhaps, this is what exactly Ms Sinclair intended to do. A message of tenderness and sweetness. And she succeeded in doing so.  It is evident that, the clarity and delightfulness of Sinclair's voice shined in  the song "Sweet Child of Mine", which she composed personally.  "One More Time" is a fine product; a very promising creativity. Talent, vocal beauty and honest individual composition surrounded the CD. The lyrics are simple, yet nourished with affection, serenity, a joyful sorrow and hope. The musical arrangement is rich, but not overwhelming. The accompaniment is very a propos. And of course, Ms Sinclair's captivating and charmingly tender voice crowned this musical accomplishment.
